KNIT AND NATTER

26 Feb 24

My new year’s resolution was to attend knit and natter at the local church as often as work would allow. I attended the first 2 Mondays in January and then what do you know I was rota’d to work every other Monday 😩 but I wasn’t idle I put my needles to good use so that I had something to take in when I finally got there.

We’re off to knit and natter!

I had a lovely couple of hours drinking tea, eating cake and, of course, knitting with the lovely ladies at All Saints Church this morning. I’m finding that focusing on my needles is helping me not to dwell on sadder thoughts. However, there is a limit to how many things you can knit for personal use, so I’ve made trauma bears, little cardies and tiny hats for preemie babies. Counting the rows and stitches focuses the mind and with such small items there is almost instant gratification at having completed something. And then rewarded with tea and cake 😊

A few weeks work!

Apologies for my absence and hoping everyone well.

Woolly Wishes

SELF-HELP #14

Knit and natter ♡♡♡

I have had a lovely, if cold, morning at my local knitting group. I took half a dozen preemy cardies in various states of completion and left 5 completed. Plenty of tea and a piece of cake what could be better.

A number of the girls were missing due to the cold. No heating in the church and the roof is dead dodgy.

Obviously I do bits for the premature baby unit – I am always going on about my preemy cardies – but the girls knit for refugee charities, the Shoe Box appeal, blankets for Africa and bits and pieces for local causes.

So a fab Monday, knitting and chatting.
